We went to my friend Kelsey's 30th birthday party tonight. I told her that I would bring the cake and since it was a special birthday, I wanted to make a special cake. My plan was to make a three-layer devil's food cake with chocolate mousse for the filling and a rich chocolate cream frosting. Alexis helped me make the cake and of course wanted to have lots of tastes:</div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I had all of the elements made and started to assemble the layers. I wish I had had John take a picture of the disaster as it was happening. Do you remember the birthday cake that he fairies in Sleeping Beauty try to make without magic? That's exactly what my cake looked like. The layers were sliding all around and the cake was falling over. It was hilarious and devastating at the same time. I somehow got it to stick together. But, after driving for 45 minutes to the party the cake totally fell apart. Kelsey wanted to use the cake anyway, so this is what it ended up looking like: </div>

On the positive side, it did taste amazing. Probably the best tasting cake I have ever made. John thinks I should give it another go and make it for Alexis' birthday since she devoured her piece. We'll see.</div>

John's family goes every August and we are so happy that we were able to go this year. Alexis was so excited, she couldn't wait to feel the water when we arrived:</div>

Alexis and I had fun, but I don't know about John. (I beat him by 23 strokes!) </div>

Alexis is really into introducing people lately. She has even introduced John to her swim teacher by saying "this is my friend Daddy." It is so funny. Abby goes everywhere with Alexis lately. And she gets her diaper changed a lot. Alexis loves to change her diaper and insists on using real wipes to do it. </div>

We took Alexis to see <i>Ice Age 4 </i>in the theater. It was a disappointment. But, Alexis had fun which was the most important thing. She loves movie theater popcorn, just like her Mommy and Nana.

The Osborn family was in Utah visiting and we were so happy that they thought to contact us while they were in town. We knew the Osborns when they lived in Townsville, but they are currently calling Nairobi, Kenya home. Allanah was a beehive in the Townsville branch while I was the Young Womens' president, and now she is going to be a freshman at BYU! Boy, that made me feel old. And she will be living in Chipman Hall, the same dorm that I lived in during my first year at the Y. How fun. We are excited to be able to see more of Allanah once school gets started. </div>

Today we celebrated Pioneer Day (celebrating the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847) by attending the "Days of '47" Parade in downtown Salt Lake City. This was Alexis' first parade and she absolutely loved it. She was cheering, clapping and dancing the whole two hours. She had a front row seat with her cousins:</div>

Alexis and I just spent the most wonderful week in California. We were so fortunate to be able to visit some family and dear friends. The first half of our trip was spent in Palo Alto and San Francisco. My sister Kelsey picked us up at the airport and then we headed to Palo Alto to meet up with her husband Brad, and my sister Christina for dinner. Alexis had fun running down the sidewalks with Kelsey on our way to dinner. It felt good to stretch our legs after our flight.</div>

While in Palo Alto, we stayed with my friend Shersti and her family. Shersti and her husband Jared have four adorable kids and another one on the way. Alexis and Annie are nine months apart and had so much fun playing together. Here they are at the park:</div>

One of Alexis' new found loves is jumping on the big trampoline. At first she was scared and only wanted to jump by herself, but after a few goes, she was jumping like a pro and loved playing with the big kids. </div>

One of our days was spent in downtown San Francisco with Kelsey, Brad and Christina. We lucked out with great weather. It was mostly sunny, and just a big windy. Alexis was such a good girl and even took an hour and a half nap in her stroller (a nap in her stroller is a <i>very</i> rare thing)!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We first headed down to the waterfront to walk around. We had an absolutely delicious lunch of clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl at Boudin. And of course, we got some yummy desserts at Ghiradelli Square.</div>

While we were there it was 110 degrees! So both days we were in Fresno were pretty much spent playing inside in the air conditioning, or at the splash park. We ended up going to all three splash parks in the Fresno area, two in just one day. It was that hot! </div>

It was such a fun week. I feel so grateful that Alexis and I were able to make this trip. On our last day, Alexis kept telling me that she wanted to stay and play with her new friends, and that she didn't want to go home. But I think she changed her tune once she saw her Daddy: </div>

I love that you can see in this picture how hard she is squeezing John. The only thing that would have made this trip better was if John could have come. Oh well, hopefully next time.</div>

We started off our day by attending a breakfast at the park put on by our ward. They had face painting for the kids. Alexis loved her butterfly: </div>

Alexis woke up pretty tired so I stayed home with her while she took a nap. The rest of the family headed up to the cabin for a BBQ and to help clean-up the yard. Afterwards, some of Alexis' cousins came over for swimming and pizza. Alexis had so much fun jumping off the diving board over and over and over again (sorry, no pictures). And of course, there were fireworks. This was Alexis' first 4th of July in the United States, so she wasn't sure about the fireworks at first. But in the end, she loved them.</div>

We went for a hike this past weekend to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was crazy busy! John made the comment that he likes to go hiking to get away from people and we felt like we could have been at Disneyland. There was a never-ending, constant stream of people on the trail. (It was really hard to get a picture without anyone else in it.) Nevertheless, we had fun. Alexis loved it. She spent some time in the backpack and some time walking by herself. And she loved throwing rocks in the river when we stopped at the bottom of the falls. We didn't climb all the way to the top of the falls (to see the "donut"), because I'm a bit afraid of heights and water and with the two combined, I just couldn't get myself to do. But really, we were there for Alexis, and she didn't know the difference.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the hike, we drove just a few minutes farther up the canyon to the cabin. It was nice to have someplace to take a shower and a comfy nap. John and Alexis went up to explore Silver Lake (which John told me was also packed), while I made dinner. We would have loved to have spent the night at the cabin, but it wouldn't have left us enough time to get to church the next morning, so we headed home after dinner. As much fun as we had, I don't think we will be planning any future Saturday hiking activities; we will take advantage of John's flexible schedule and try to go during the week. </div>

I've been wanting to learn how to play the piano for a long time now. (I even took lessons for a few months during the summer after I graduated high school.) So for my birthday, I got a keyboard along with a course that will hopefully help me to learn the basics on my own. The keyboard came in the mail today and Alexis fell in love:

Yesterday, Alexis came home from church singing "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam." She kept singing it and telling me that she learned it at church. John and I were just dying because instead of saying "sunbeam," she says "sun-beep." It is hilarious, and so cute at the same time:</div>

Also, the other morning Alexis woke up singing this song:</div>

Alexis is the most amazing swimmer ever. Well, at least we think so. We are so lucky to have a pool in our backyard while we are living with Tom and Susan. And I have no doubt that Alexis is such a good swimmer because we take her swimming most days of the week. We were able to get some videos of her swimming skills; just remember while you're watching the videos that she is only 2 years and 8 months old! (Can you tell that I am proud of her?)<br />

Alexis and I got John a hiking backpack child carrier for Father's Day. He was very excited to try it out, so the very next morning, we drove up to the top of City Creek Canyon and went on a family hike. Alexis loved being up in the backpack as we went "exploring." John carried Alexis up the trail, and I had a turn carrying her down. It was a fun morning.</div>
